Zzzz Your Way to This Combo: Sleep + Beauty + Physical Well-being

“Go, get your beauty sleep!”

You must have heard this age-old saying a lot of times from many people but have you ever wondered what’s so special and different about a relaxing sleep at night? Does sleep really have so many benefits? Can a good night’s sleep make you look prettier?

Well, it’s common for you to have multiple questions about how exactly beauty sleep works. It’s easy to frame it as, if you get a good night’s sleep, you wake up refreshed and your skin glows naturally and is hydrated from within. But it is much more complicated to explain what goes behind it and what are the benefits of beauty sleep. It is undeniable that sleeping for 7-9 hours is vital for healthy skin and lifestyle. When you don’t sleep enough, cortisol (the stress hormone) is released extensively in your body. This may lead to possible inflammation, further causing an increase in skin conditions like acne, spots, and dead skin.

Sometimes not being able to get enough sleep or a proper good night’s sleep ends you with more than just waking up with puffy and dull skin. There are a multitude of side effects of a poor sleep regime. Inappropriate sleeping patterns take an extensive toll on how our skin looks and how our body functions as the real game is all about CORTISOL! Who would want to trade their sleep for breakouts, acne, reduced skin turnover, and harsh dehydrated skin? Absolutely NO ONE!

Note: Wondering what’s “skin turnover?” Cell turnover refers to the process through which dead surface cells are shed to make way for newer and fresher ones, which are produced in the deeper layers of the skin.

The skin turnover is supercharged at night and builds collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. It’s something that we all resort to in our expensive skincare routines. So why not give ourselves the sleep we deserve to naturally look fresh, bright, and Ezzztra beautiful?

Sleep is also extremely important for your physical and mental well-being. You need to get enough sleep to prevent common sleeping disorders like insomnia and sleep deprivation and other bodily dysfunctionalities. However, if you get enough sleep, it will technically amount to all the beauty and calmness on your face with your physical well-being and health. What’s better is, that your skin isn’t exposed to external factors like dirt, dust, pollution, etc. when you’re off to sleep. This is a state where nothing is blocking your skin pores at all so everything works out better for you at night!

Heavenluxe Tip: Use products with active ingredients like retinol or acids that work better and are more effective at night. That’s because our skin has the bandwidth and strength to absorb the product and transform it into a very usable component.

At night, the skin is in its renewal mode and has way more energy to intake the active ingredients of your skin product.

Benefits of Beauty Sleep: Zzzz To Be Happier and Brighter

A well-rested sleep is an inevitable thread in the fabric of long-lasting freshness and beauty. It has been proven over and over again with scientific research that sleep deprivation can lead to a myriad of psychological and physical problems whereas a healthy and refreshing sleep every night can make you feel better about everything from your skin to your physical being.

Let’s look into what’s more to the benefits of beauty sleep and get you through everything you need to know about it and its impact on how we look and our physical well-being!

1. Rise and SHINE (Literally)

Your skin is the largest organ you have and is predominantly one of the many things that are benefited from sleeping in. Your skin seeks and sees direct benefits from an adequate amount of sleep and rest. Having a full night 7-9 hours of sleep can help to repair and ameliorate how your skin looks, despite going through so much throughout the day.

In addition, getting enough sleep at night is essential for complete cellular growth and function in your body and skin cells. It also helps your skin to produce protective cytokines, which further guard against all the damage and dirt. Scientifically, people who get enough sleep expose themselves to a set of great benefits, like better blood flow, faster and easier regeneration of cells, and hormonal regulation. Who wouldn’t crave a night of good long sleep, especially when it gives you shiny and super-glowing skin? We know, you do too! ;)

2. Zzzstronger and Healthier Hair

Beauty sleep is a package of great things for you! It even contributes to more voluminous, stronger, and healthier hair. A night of 7-9 hours of sleep is needed for protein intake and synthesis of your hair whilst impacting your hormones (which also have a direct relationship with your hair’s growth and health)

To understand this more closely, let’s start with knowing what’s melatonin. It is a hormone that helps control the body’s sleep cycle and is an antioxidant. This hormone, by researchers, has been linked directly to the sleep cycle and any increase in hair growth or hair fall. Since sleep has a close connection to hormonal levels in the human body, it means that poor sleeping patterns can lead to reduced amount of melatonin. A situation like this is responsible for causing hair loss because it causes the hair follicles to fall into an early resting state which lacks space and nutrition for hair to grow or be healthy.

3. Eye to Eye: Sleep Is Inevitably Important

Much like your skin, brain, and body, your eyes also heal themselves as you sleep at night. Not getting enough sleep can lead to multiple eye-related issues. From making them dry to having puffy eyes with dark circles under them, it’s a complete disaster! You tend to encounter puffy eyes especially because a good amount of fluid is collected all around them, making them look swollen. Sleeping at night is the perfect time to help your eye cells get restored and renew them for clear vision. It’s the only key to healthier and prettier eyes!
